especially in internet folders and the like

also do you have any other utilities?? you can try and remove all 'extra' stuff that way

1. On the first, no. Ok, I will do that. But I have no clue what to delete. Do you really think I should start deleting stuff willy nilly? Not knowing what it is?

2. Only other utility I have is Norton antivirus. It shows no virus.

[Jon Miller]

hmm

have you went to tool bar and checked to see if it changed your homepage?

I checked the settings on Adaware. It already scans the registry. I'm doing another scan that includes IE favorites and archives. Don't hold out much luck for that.

[Jon Miller]

go internet options

use default homepage
clear internet files
clear internet cookies
clear internet history

does it open up as soon as you use internet explorer?

if so I bet it has sometihng to do with the setting on that

you can try uninstalling internet explorer and reinstalling it(make sure you have an install disck though (it doesn't need to be current, just enough to get online))

1. Yes.

2. I can't follow advice as vague as reinstall IE. Asher gives me more step by step advice. Let me go see if I have an IE disk...

-------------------------

I ran a search of all the files changed in the last week. Not sure what that gains me. It is a lot of files.

[Jon Miller]

did you try going to inetrnet options and deleting internet files, cookies, and cleaing history (and resetting the homepage)?

Jon Miller

[TCO]

Yes I did that. It did not fix the problem. Got it again when I opened up a webpage after restarting. Seemed not as bad this time. Just the pages, no popups. But I had disabled the messanger program before opening a page. Still would like to get rid of those pages and would like to make that little messanger icon not be in my little icon area.

[Jon Miller]

hmmm

try the reinstall (of internet explorer)



(sorry, I am not as good as Asher and company)

I don't know what the hell that is. All I know is that there was a Gator popup when I went there.

...and still no sign of Asher. Pitiful.

BTW, a stupid temp Gator'd one of our computers at work. Is there an easy fix, or should I just save time and drop it off the roof now?

[Ted Striker]

Get Spybot Search and Destroy it will get rid of all those things...
